I hope no one is trying to get oil from the condenser.   I should  
have said
compressor, of course, that is where the oil is stored and needed.   
If you
aren't opening the system, you could drain the compressor oil in an
accurate measuring cup and replace with a like amount of new oil with
the recharge, not to exceed 8.5 oz.
